💡 Solution Description

The Air Quality Monitoring template is your accelerator for Smart City environmental initiatives. Whether you are managing a single industrial park or a metropolis like Los Angeles, this template provides the essential tools to track pollution and ensure public safety.

✨ Highlights

Transform raw sensor data into public health insights instantly. The Air Quality Monitoring template deploys a complete Smart City solution, allowing you to visualize pollution levels, manage AQI sensors, and inform citizens with real-time health recommendations. 🏙️😷

Press Install to generate a working simulation of Los Angeles — complete with district-level monitoring and live AQI calculations.

📦 What’s inside the box?

We have auto-generated a complete environmental monitoring ecosystem for you:

  • 🌍 Public Citizens Dashboard: A transparency portal featuring interactive maps, pollution gauges, and automated health advice based on EPA standards.
  • 🛠️ Admin Command Center: A dedicated management console to oversee sensor health, battery levels, and connectivity alarms.
  • 🧠 Automated AQI Logic: Pre-configured Calculated Fields that instantly convert raw telemetry (PM2.5, NO2, Ozone) into the standard Air Quality Index.
  • 🔌 Demo Fleet: Five pre-provisioned “Air Quality Sensors” simulating real-world data across different city districts.
  • 📡 Edge Readiness: Built-in support for ThingsBoard Edge, allowing you to deploy local processing nodes in remote cities or districts.

🌟 Why use this template?

  • ⚡ Zero-Math AQI: Forget complex formulas. The system automatically identifies the highest concentration among pollutants (Ozone, PM2.5, PM10, CO, SO2, NO2) and calculates the accurate AQI index based on breakpoints.
  • 📢 Instant Transparency: Engage your citizens immediately. The pre-built “Public Dashboard” is designed to be embedded in city websites, requiring no login for end-users.
  • 🛡️ Proactive Maintenance: Don’t let a dead battery ruin your data. The Admin Dashboard highlights “Low Battery” and “Connection Loss” events so you can fix sensors before they go dark.

✨ Key Features

  • Dual-View Dashboards: Separate interfaces for Public viewing (simplified, map-centric) and Administrative tasks (tabular, diagnostic-centric).
  • Dynamic Health Advice: The dashboard doesn’t just show numbers; it interprets them. If the AQI spikes, the system automatically displays recommendations for sensitive groups.
  • Smart Alarms: Configurable thresholds allow you to trigger alerts not just for pollution levels, but for the technical health of your IoT network.

🌍 Real-World Applications

This template serves as a robust foundation for environmental monitoring:

  • 🏙️ Smart Cities: Inform residents about safety conditions for outdoor activities and reduce urban health risks.

  • 🏭 Industrial Zones: Monitor emissions in real-time to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

  • 🏫 Campus Safety: Track air quality across universities or school districts to protect students during high-pollution events.
